    Wow... impressive :eek: , no idea what's my marks now as i didn't install 3d marks back after my reformat last time.

    I manage to push my core up to 617 but stability is questionable as i never run any stress test or gaming for long time(2~3hours normally). All these are just to enable me to run crysis at decent setting (med+low) at low resolution (1024x640). :mad:

    [EDIT]

    Now i need to carry bunch of stuff in order to cool my notebook down! It become so not portable. :(

    Yes... Just who would shell out $3000 for a single game? Xbox 360 seems like a much better alternative.

    Only just found out how to play it on DX9! Was just under bearable on medium settings on DX10, but DX 9 works like a charm

    Just how much difference do you notice between DX10 and DX9? I don't really notice that much difference.
